ANNE EWAN-SCOULAR
ANNE EWAN-SCOULAR It is with deep sorrow we announce the death of my beloved wife, Anne, on July 30, 2004, after a courageous battle with cancer at the age of 79. Her memory will be cherished by her husband Alvin, and his family, who loved her dearly; her son Chris (Gayle) and children, Korbin and Demara; daughter Charlynne (Michael) Meyers and children, Kaylen and Christa; sister Caroline (Jim) Kilpatrick and family; brother-in-law Johnny Bourbonnais, Maureen Bourbonnais; dear friends, Ev and Della Mulder, Cathy French, Norma Kaisaris; cousins, Rae (Frank) Graves (Kingston, ON) and family, June Figsby and family; plus many others too numerous to mention whose lives she touched. She was predeceased by her parents, Herb and Ann Stuart; her first husband William Ewan, and her second son Bradley Ewan. Anne was born
in East Kildonan and spent most of her life in that area, moving in later years to Fort Garry. Anne was a gifted musician, who starred on the stage of the Beacon Theatre at a very early age, playing her accordion. She played for years in the band at Grand Beach and started her music teaching career giving accordion lessons. Her love of music continued her entire life, as she later taught organ to many students over the years, conducted musical competitions, instilling her love of music into all lucky enough to have her as their teacher. Music was her life, and she continued to play as long as she could. She always loved the water and enjoyed time spent at her cottage with her family. After the deaths of her first husband and her son, she involved herself with her bridge club, thanks to wonderful neighbour Bertie Beckle. She became a world traveller after her second marriage, as she and Al travelled extensively which she loved. Every year was a new adventure for her. She was determined that cancer was not going to beat her and fought right to the end, at home, with loving care from Al and wonderful homemakers and nurses. Cremation has taken place, and a private service for immediate family only was held. In lieu of flowers, should friends desire, donations may be made in Anne's memory to CancerCare Manitoba, 675 McDermot Ave. Room 0N1 160, Winnipeg, MB R3E 0V9. Anne's spirit is with us all - we wish her Heavenly peace.

At the brave young age of 16, Johann left his mother and sister behind in German-occupied Ukraine, to join the German Army as a translator and field messenger. He saw his mother and sister briefly in 1943, but as his family was sent to Siberia shortly thereafter, he never saw his mother again. He was reunited with his sister, Gretel, in Germany in 1993, after 50 years apart. Johann met his future wife Ella, and her family in a refugee camp in Backnang, Germany in 1947. They were married on June 10, 1950 in Winnipeg.

He was also a devoted member of First Mennonite Church in Winnipeg. He served as a deacon for 25 years, visiting the elderly and those that were ill. His pride and joy, after his children and grandchildren, was the cottage at Pinawa Bay. He also enjoyed travelling with Ella, and especially camping, boating, and fishing (in later years, with the grandchildren). A memorial service will be held on Tuesday, August 24 at 10:30 a.m. at First Mennonite Church, 922 Notre Dame Ave. at Alverstone Street.

ANNE GOERTZEN
ANNE ELAINE GOERTZEN April 2, 1922- August 12, 2004 Peacefully and surrounded by Ed, James, Joy, Lois, Sharon, and Tim; Mom completed her sacred journey on August 12, 2004. Over the last years, Mom continued to live life to its fullest while she faced the challenges of her illness. For Mom this included her family, music, gardening, travels, cottage, scrabble, volunteering, and life long learning. Mom has joined Dad in heaven and is lovingly remembered by her children and grandchildren: Sharon, Ron, and Melissa; Lois, Gerhard, Jonathan, and Anna; James, Kathleen, Tyrone, and Aidan; Joy and Tom; Tim, Kendra, Brenley, and Delaney along with her companion and special friend Ed. Mom is also in the hearts of her sister and brothers: Marie and Leo, Ernie and Evelyn, Lawrence and Bunny and all of her nieces and nephews. Mom was born
and raised in Gretna, Manitoba. Her passion for teaching and learning began at Normal School and continued with piano lessons in her home, German school, and English as a Second Language. We were all very proud when in her 60's she graduated from the University of Manitoba with her Bachelor of Education. Mom was always teaching and learning whether that was new musical pieces on her recorder, Spanish for travelling adventures, new gardening techniques with Ed, or business acumen for Anne's Bed and Breakfast. She instilled the love of learning in her children and her grandchildren and was very proud and supportive of all their interests and achievements. Mom was a singer and a performer on the piano, organ, and recorders. She conducted children's choirs, performed in special recorder groups, and sang in Church, Oratorio and community choirs. She supported the careers of other musicians by fundraising and ushering through the Women's Committee of the Winnipeg Symphony Orchestra. Her love of music set the stage for the musical careers of all her children and grandchildren and she was their most admiring supporter at all of their performances. Mom's relationship with many of her friends and God were centred within the Fort Garry Mennonite Fellowship. Mom and Dad were instrumental in the establishment of the fellowship as well as Moose Lake Mennonite Camp. The many activities and relationships that she developed through these associations were of vital importance to her. We will celebrate her life at 10:30 a.m. on Monday, August 16, (150 Bayridge Avenue in Fort Richmond, Winnipeg). A family interment will be held at the Mennonite Memorial Gardens. For Mom and Dad, the family cottage and Moose Lake Mennonite Camp were an important part of their lives and gave them many cherished memories. Mom loved and appreciated flowers. However, we would appreciate continuing support of Mom and Dad's education legacy through the Henry and Anne Goertzen Scholarship Fund (Care of Camps with Meaning, 200-600 Shaftesbury Boulevard, Winnipeg, R3P 0M4). Prayers will be held at 7:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. on Saturday, August 14, 2004 at Thomson "In the Park," 1291 McGillivary Boulevard, Winnipeg.

He is survived by his son Ray; daughter Sheila Bross (Michael) of Montreal; granddaughters, Kathryn, Kelly (Dean), Karen-Rae (Luke) of New Zealand; daughter-in-law Dorothy; grandson Andrew Bross of Montreal; and great-granddaughter Madison of New Zealand. Stan was predeceased by his wife Maude Bernice (Poppy) of 49 years of marriage; brothers, Frank and Charles; and sisters, Jenny and Jessie. Kathryn will fondly remember the stories her grandfather shared with her during her many visits with him throughout the years when he entertained her with many poignant and sometimes hilarious stories of his childhood years and growing up in old St. Andrews. When Stan left home to make his way in the world, he moved to Winnipeg and studied to be a "sign maker". Back when the store signs were hand-painted, his signs were featured in many small stores in downtown Winnipeg. To further his career, he worked long hours, as well as taking courses at night. Stan then joined the Hudson Bay Company in his mid 20s and was a dedicated employee for the next 40 years. Early in his career, he worked in the Display Department designing interior layouts. Later, he joined the staff at Hudson Bay House where he worked on store planning in Winnipeg, Toronto and Montreal. After his retirement in 1980, Stan continued to put his creative talents to work doing layouts for many boutiques and small stores for the next five years. Stan was an ardent golfer and a member of both the Winnipeg Canoe Club and Assiniboine Golf Club, golf well into his late 70s. He was a talented craftsman and took pride in his carpentry and renovation work. He had an appreciation of the outdoors and always looked forward to winter's end when he could get out and plant his garden. Each year, he and his wife Poppy, enjoyed a winter break in Hawaii, where he loved to swim and surf in the ocean. Stan was deeply curious about the world at large and until his death, kept a chronicle in binders (74 in all) of clippings from newspapers and magazines about politics, entertainment, religion, history and sports. He was a spiritual man who believed that religion went far and beyond one faith. On August 3, Stan being a diabetic, slipped into a coma and passed on one day later. As per his wishes, a private ceremony was held on Monday, August 9 in the Chapel of Memories in Wojcik's Funeral Chapel, 2157 Portage Ave. at Sharp Boulevard with the immediate family in attendance. Ray and Sheila would like to thank the staff of the Maples Personal Care Home for their warmth and kindness in caring for their father for the past three and a half years.
